Psalms 54

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster On stringed instruments Poem Of David When the Ziphites went to Saul andsaid,'Is not David hiding with us?'] God, save me by your name, in your power vindicate me.	1 Magistro chori. Fidibus. Maskil. David,
2 God, hear my prayer, listen to the words I speak.	2 postquam Ziphaei ad Saul venerunt dicentes: " Ecce David apud nos abditus latet ".
3 Arrogant men are attacking me, bullies hounding me to death, no room in their thoughts forGod.Pause	3 Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac et in virtute tua iudica me.
4 But now God is coming to my help, the Lord, among those who sustain me.	4 Deus, exaudi orationem meam, auribus percipe verba oris mei!
5 May their wickedness recoil on those who lie in wait for me. Yahweh, in your constancy destroy them.	5 Quoniam superbi insurrexerunt adversum me, et fortes quaesierunt animam meam et non proposuerunt Deum ante conspectum suum.
6 How gladly wil I offer you sacrifice, and praise your name, for it is good,	6 Ecce enim Deus adiuvat me, et Dominus susceptor est animae meae.
7 for it has rescued me from al my troubles, and my eye has feasted on my enemies.	7 Converte mala super inimicos meos et in veritate tua disperde illos.
	8 Voluntarie sacrificabo tibi, confitebor nomini tuo, Domine, quoniam bonum est;
	9 quoniam ex omni tribulatione eripuit me, et super inimicos meos despexit oculus meus.
